M. V. Dhurandhar was one of India's first postcard artists who designed postcards for a local manufacture. Like Raja Ravi Varma, he merged Indian and western sensibilities fluidly into his art. This postcard, published c.1905, speaks to a new assertive urban woman overcoming outdated social strictures. Dhurandhar had sent this to his former mentor as New Year's Greetings.
